What a Difference a Week, and a Wee Bit of Rain Can Make

It finally rained a few days before we left town to head for the beach. It rained again while we were gone. And after the horrible winter the gardens were wrecked. It didn't help that I had not the desire to get out and clean up the carnage. It was just depressing all the way around, but with the moisture came the recovery. Slow for sure, and some things are just truly dead, never to return. But there were some surprises, and some hardy plants that just needed some rains to show.

Well, all of a sudden, things sprang to life, and everything is looking up. These of course, were all expected to return.
